The human rights response to HIV, largely implemented by civil society, has been crucial to the HIV response, but it appears that the funding for this work is insufficient and may be threatened further. Based on these concerns—and with the support of the Ford Foundation—the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) commissioned research to better understand the current and future funding landscape as experienced by the civil society groups that are implementing key human rights programmes in the HIV response.

This paper presents the results of this research and makes recommendations in an effort to ensure sufficient and sustainable funding for that crucial work until the end of the AIDS epidemic. Since HIV was first identified, people living with and affected by HIV and the civil society groups working on their behalf both have fought for human rights, and their efforts have led to many of the major successes of the HIV response. They have fought AIDS denial; advocated for full funding; demanded their rights to participation, non‑discrimination, information and treatment; fought to lower the prices of medication; challenged ineffective policies and practices in the courts; mobilized patients against mandatory testing, segregation and other abuses in health systems; and provided legal services and legal literacy to those who have been discriminated against due to their health or social status.
